For now I have te CX500 (as stated in the link above). eXtreme Power Supply suggested a 395w PSU (being a 445w PSU recommended).

I do have the intention of chaging that PSU to something better, such as a ZT750 or HX750. But for now, these are out of my budget.

Is it possible that a CX500 will do the job until I'm able to switch between PSUs (consider that the PC is going to be built on april and I might have money for a PSU late may).


Cheers
